Brilliant hosts, lovely property, very clean and tidy and with everything you need, nicely secluded, great hot tub. 15 to 20 minutes steady walk to Bideford to be recommended. Bus stops at the bottom of the lane go to Westward ho, Bideford and Appledore amongst other destinations. Not suitable for disabled people, (wheelchair bound or with mobility issues).

The orangery was perfect for a writing retreat, with it's long light room. The place was very clean and it was useful to be able to control the environment during the day. The kitchen was well stocked and it was a great touch to have a welcome basket. Supermarkets, the town centre and Budeford Quay are all within easy walking distance and there were lots of local areas to visit. The hot tub was the icing on the cake.
